Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?

It is interesting. It shows what ha sbeenargued before, that the SACD version may indeed sound better, but not because of the format but because of the mastering, since the redbook layer has the same greater Dynamic range.

I should check to see if there is a date on the Tidal site. I do not thing I could hear 1 or 2 dB of difference in the dynamic range, but the mastering differences make sense. 

Someone sent me a spreadsheet of the MQA titles available on Tidal, it's probably at least a month old, but has the Norah Jones albums on it.  There are two "Not Too Late" entries on the spreadsheet, both added to Tidal on 10/3/17, both with release dates of 1/1/03, one is listed as 96k the other is 192k.

There are two "Not Too Late" both added to Tidal both with release dates of 1/1/03

They’re full of it like other MQA properganda, as it wasn’t released till 2007 recorded Recorded Summer 2005–Fall 2006

Its not (MQA) propaganda...accuracy of release date(s) notwithstanding, they are delivered at higher bit rates and sound much better than the non-MQA versions.
